I can imagine the faces of the people of Oravský Podzamok when they saw Murnau and his men carrying their camera and vampire custom. Despite heavy rain and cold, a part of myself (the other one was caughing inside the coat) was recognising the places of the silent classic while Luis tried to translate what the Slovakian guide was saying. By the way, no mention to the movie or vampires, all information was strictly historical (feudal lords, folklor) or current (local animals, how much was repairing that part…)

It’s a worthy visit if you come to this part of the world, and even though the inhabitants of Orava region know nothing about Murnau or Nosferatu, they are proud of their Oravský hrad. It’s cheap for being a museum (they don’t look that much your student ID, so they can’t see it’s expired) and you can eat quite well in the village. (And there are no vampires).
